Mile/minute
A unit of speed representing the number of miles traveled per minute.
History/Origin
The mile per minute has been used historically in contexts such as aviation and transportation to measure rapid speeds before the widespread adoption of metric units and modern speed measurements like miles per hour or meters per second.
Current Use
Currently, mile per minute is rarely used in everyday contexts but may appear in specialized fields such as aviation, military, or scientific calculations where high-speed measurements are relevant.
Mile/second
A mile per second (mi/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one mile traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The mile per second has been used primarily in scientific contexts, especially in astronomy and physics, to measure extremely high velocities such as those of celestial objects. Its usage has been limited due to the convenience of metric units in scientific measurement.
Current Use
Today, the mile per second is mainly used in scientific research, particularly in astrophysics and space science, to describe high-velocity phenomena like the speed of spacecraft, stars, or other celestial bodies.
